Notes
- For a dairy-free option, swap the butter with coconut oil.
- If you want to make the cake vegan, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water per egg) and use maple syrup in place of honey.
- For gluten-free, ensure your oats are certified gluten-free.
- Add-ins like chopped nuts, raisins, or additional spices (nutmeg, ginger) can be included for extra flavor.
